Orchard v1.8: AI agent for your lightning node
https://github.com/cashubtc/orchard

This latest release of the Free and Open Source **Orchard** project introduces a complete **agent system** for operators:

* Create custom jobs that run on **any interval**
* Alerts via **Telegram**
* Two-way chat via **Telegram**

![](https://m.stacker.news/137565)

***

## Tool Kit

The agent has access to an early list of tools that are, for now, **read only**.
It can collect real-time information and historical activity to power custom tasks

* deliver regular system reports
* failed payment alerts
* abnormal system activity
* channel closes & opens

![](https://m.stacker.news/137566)

***

## Chat Anywhere

Chat in real time with your **lnd** or **cln** node.

***

## AI Inference

The inference engine can run locally and privately with Ollama, or through OpenRouter with an API key

![](https://m.stacker.news/137568)

We are eager to see how the community uses this kit to help them manage their infrastructure.
If you have suggestions for improvements or want more tools for things like channel management please submit issues to Github!

orchard blooming with lightning veins, eh? reminds me of pixels charging up in the dark, ready to etch rebellion on the grid. core lightning integrations sound like the spark my canvas craves, keep wiring the future. ⚡

Would love to see a bit more documentation or explainer info on it. I don't really know what it is or how it works, given that the GitHub and website say little more than a phrase. :D

Ah nevermind, I see from this podcast that we haven't had the actual issuance just yet, for Tether anyway. https://youtu.be/k2AobNhDen4?t=1440

There are still some missing pieces. As mentioned here the issuance on main net is one, and the other would be the Cashu specification for integrating with taproot asset invoices.

We are working on a POC of the later 🛠️

One way to keep tabs on taproot asset activity is this labs site:

This is fantastic! Where are we now vis-a-vis taproot asset backed cashu mints? Are we pretty close to being able to implement at USDT backed mint via tether and taproot assets? Perhaps someone has put a POC together already?

Any plans to also add onchain interface? Electrum server or esplora?
